Welcome to AFM

Africa on the rise
In the last quarter-century, football in Africa has seen more growth than any other region on the planet. The arrival of the FIFA World Cup in South Africa in 2010 is the culmination of this development. The incredible number of African players in the world's top leagues as well as the emergence of a generation of popular mega-stars like Didier Drogba, Michael Essien, Samuel Eto'o, Emanuel Adebayor and many more is proof that something big is afoot on the continent.

With access to the biggest names in the game, AFM can get you close to these exciting personalities and their world-class national teams. We can also take you back to the clubs and championships that produced such stars, as well as the youth and women's teams that fill out the colourful fabric of football in Africa.
